Built For One(Narry)✔

7- Zayn

It had been four weeks, a month and Niall and Harry had been more than close. They hooked up whenever they could, at Harry's house.

But they never made a mistake of showing that they knew each other more than student and teacher at school.

It was all a professional relationship, infact, it was so professional that Louis thought that Harry hated Niall for a reason. That came about because most of Niall's teachers had a soft spot for the lad because of his brilliance and hardwork. All except for Harry.

Harry seemed like he didn't care about the fact that Niall was the smartest kid in his class, in school. He would appreciate Niall where need be, but nothing more.

That had Louis' questioning Niall if he had done anything to get on the bad side of the teacher and Niall all but shrugged and said it was because of the detentions he'd gotten a few times. Which of course weren't really detentions but just an excuse when Harry really needed to see Niall and talk to him if they weren't hooking up.

That had him convinced, atleast Niall hoped.

The three lads didn't spend much time together like they used to because Louis had been helping Andrew with the team as the big game was nearing. They all knew that after the game, they'd have time to themselves like they used to.

Enter Zayn. Since Niall had been quite busy sneaking around with Harry, he'd had to rain check Zayn a number of times that the latter didn't even bother to ask him about hanging out anymore. Except on days when they decided to go and watch Louis with the team. They had even taken two Sundays to hang out together.

The thing with Zayn though, that Niall had noticed was that he was always so ready to leave school as soon as the bell rung.

It was surprising for Niall -because Louis hadn't yet picked up on it- seeing as Zayn was one of the people who liked hanging around until both Niall and Louis were out of school. He would offer to stay and wait for Niall and after that, they'd go and watch Louis.

But that hadn't been happening for the past couple of weeks. He would just say a quick bye to his mates and be gone.

Niall had finally concluded that Zayn had entered into a secret science fair and was working on a project everyday after school, waiting for the right time to tell his friends. He'd done that before, only telling them when he'd finished his project. Zayn was great at science and art, among other things and so Niall let it go knowing that Zayn would tell them in his own time.

They were currently in Maths and it was a few minutes before bell would ring, signalling lunch time.

Niall was sat with Zayn who seemed deep in thought, he shrugged and started packing his stuff.

Soon the bell rang and everyone stood up and started leaving the classroom.

"I'm gonna go to the bathroom real quick, I'll meet you in the lunch room." Zayn said and slung his bag over his shoulder, eyes fixed on his phone.

"I need a wee as well, I'll go with you." Louis said and looked at Zayn then he turned to Niall. "See you in the cafeteria, yeah?"

Niall nodded with furrowed eyebrows because he didn't miss the almost disapproving look that Zayn shot Louis when he said he'd tag along.

"Zayn are you alright?" Niall asked instead of answering Louis' question.

Zayn looked hesitant and even jittery but he shook his head and answered with a tight lipped smile.

"I'm alright, but I won't be for long because my bladder is 'bout to burst." Both Louis and Niall chuckled at that and then Louis pulled Zayn out then they were gone.
